Cannot publish test app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 82

Hello,

I have an app [Main] for which I have made a test app [TEST] for.

In [TEST], I am able to download symbols, including [MAIN], and compile.

But when I try to publish [TEST] to a local docker, I get the error below. It is correct that I have not published [MAIN] to the database but I thought this was not necessary as the dependencies would be installed by [TEST]?

"A package with publisher '', name '', and a version compatible with '' could not be loaded. Symbols for the requested app [MAIN] by could not be found in the database."

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or has an idea on how to progress? Thanks.

    AFAIK, No, in OnPrem/Containers we have to install all apps in proper order based on dependencies.

    Hi, Mohana is right.

    In Appsource, there is Libraries app, that can be installed automatically. For example, Jet Report, when you install one, it will automatically install the other.

    As for the solution to the problem, in the major update of the previous version, Microsoft added the following feature.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.
